Samuel H. Newnam: Radical Islam is the problem; it’s time to fight

What happened in Orlando on Sunday is only the beginning of what is to come, unless the United States steps up and wipes out all these radical Islamic groups. Whether you like it or not, it is either them or us. I choose us. Wipe them off the face of the earth.

President Obama will do his usual nothing, blaming guns as the problem. His agenda is to take guns away from law-abiding Americans. Yet, someone has to pull the trigger. Obama knows this. Are you going to wait until a family member or a friend is killed by one of these groups before you wake up and see what is really happening?

Some of you still want to elect Hillary Clinton as president? She got the famous 3 a.m. phone call on Benghazi and she ordered them to stand down. What is wrong with a lot of you Republicans, Liberals and Democrats? Do you really want you and your family to be protected by Hillary Clinton? I and a lot of my friends are investing in food and ammo. Lots and lots of ammo. God Bless America. Protect yourself and your family!

Samuel H. Newnam, Modesto
